It's really close to the heart of Bath, so it's very convenient. The room is fine and so is the bathroom. I like the dining room and breakfast was exceptionally good and the waitress was very attentive.… More

In Great Pulteney Street, in the heart of historic Bath, the Carfax Hotel consists of three beautifully preserved Georgian town houses and offers free parking, lifts and charming en suite rooms.

Centrally located, the Carfax Hotel is an ideal base from which to work or explore one of Europe's oldest and finest cities. The celebrated architect Thomas Baldwin created Great Pulteney Street in 1789, using the famous honey-coloured Bath Stone. Today, the hotel still retains many beautiful original Georgian features, with large rooms with high ceilings and large sliding sash windows.

There are 31 uniquely furnished and individually heated rooms, all of which are en suite with either a bath or shower, or more often both. A continental buffet breakfast and a full traditional cooked English breakfast is included in the price. There is also a computer for public use in the hotel’s lounge, which is free of charge.

Parking is available on a limited, first-come, first-served basis.

Hotel Rooms: 31.

Anonymous Family with older children United States of America July 1, 2009	The breakfast was great; hot items were available and there was a good selection. The beds were comfortable, and the location was close to the city center, but in a quiet section. It was only a minor problem, but the shower temperature was very inconsistent. It would switch from very hot to very cold throughout a shower.	8.5
Meriel With friends London, United Kingdom June 26, 2009	The Hotel was very close to the centre of Bath and the receptionist offered to look after our bags while we walked around the city For the price I paid for one night the hotel was basic and rather worn, the breakfast was more half empty than full english.	4

Bobby Family with older children Ellesmere, United Kingdom June 19, 2009	The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The parking was easy to find, and free! And it was about 3 minutes walk into the centre of Bath, but still managed to be quiet at night. The tea and coffee facilities in the room were top notch, and the breakfast food was all local - a nice touch. The rooms were quite small, and for 3 adults sharing, could have done with a bit more room, particularly for the price - it wasn't particularly cheap. The breakfast was nice, but the dining room was way too small for the number of guests, and we felt a bit cramped, and like they wanted us to hurry up.	6.5
David Solo traveller Blackwood, United Kingdom June 17, 2009	Clean and comfortable room with easy access to the theatre. No bar!	7
Mark Mature couple Aylesbury, United Kingdom June 17, 2009	Booked at the last minute through Booking.Com and did wonder if we'd get an attic room at the front however, we ended up in a large well appointed room with a bathroom bigger than some hotel rooms I have stayed in! The bathroom had obviously been completely redone very recently and was well appointed.	9.5

The bed was very small...	5.5
Christine With friends Steyning, United Kingdom May 31, 2009	It was central with lots of character and shops were easy to access. The bathroom floor had a raised tile (potentially dangerous) with an area around the side of the bath that did not look very clean. A lampshade was missing from a lamp. The cooked breakfast was adequate but cooking technique could be improved. The toaster was proving to be tempermental.	5.5
